Thiago Macieira 1814142b7a Use forkfd in QProcess
Replace the existing code in QProcess that dealt with signaling of child
processes exiting with forkfd and spawnfd. The previous code was
convoluted and hard to maintain, having shown its age in the last
year. I've been running it for a year and a half and the new
implementation is definitely an improvement.

This change replaces support for the QNX Neutrino spawn() call with the
POSIX version. We lose the ability to do setsid(), but we gain quite a
few ioctls() that were done to fill in the file descriptor mapping
structure. That's also the only OS for which we have the ability to
thread-safely chdir() before the call to spawnfd().

Another advantage is that forkfd does not require a dedicated thread
running to handle child processes exiting.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
